Gold Medal-Worthy Beauty Products from Around the World

As the world prepares to watch the Summer Olympics, we decided to host our very own beauty-themed games. Behold the winningest products from around the globe

We always love pitting products against each other --bronzer against bronzer, lipstick against lipstick, etc. -- to see which rates highest and comes out on top, -- victorious! And, now, with the Summer Olympics poised to captivate the world, we thought it would be fun to take our product pitting to the next level and figure out which country's beauty products deserve the most accolades .

So while the rest of the globe is gearing up to watch the fittest people on the planet compete, we're exercising our product savvy by putting the best beauty products to the test in our own "Beauty Olympics."

And, though we may not be former world-class athletes (and didn't have NBC standing by to cover our competition), we're convinced that as judges, we merit a few medals of our own. As beauty editors and makeup artists, we're uniquely qualified for the task, having tried nearly every hair, skin, nail, and lash product out there -- and, as with the best in the Olympics biz, we're ruthless with our critiques. A broken palette, a rough brush, or a polish that chips after three days would all be sent to the showers.

So, to find out which products defeated the competition and went home with the gold, silver, and bronze medals, we say, "let the games begin Ö "

Uriage Roseliane cream is my favorite. Its the only thing the works to take the redness out of my skin. I apply it as a moisterizer and it keeps my face looking neutral and beautiful..no more blotchiness!
